New accomplishment U.S. producer Georgia-Pacific has announced that the company’s Albany Lumber has made its 1 billionth boardfoot.
The record-setting board rolled off the plant’s production line around four years after the facility opened in 2020, the business said in a statement.
“The mill tracks production using an internal database, giving employees insight into volume in real time and to determine important milestones. Construction on the $150 million, 320,000-square foot, technologically advanced plant began in 2018. Albany Lumber is one of the two largest mills in the state of Georgia, and currently employs more than 150 full-time employees,” according to the U.S. manufacturer.
"Using the industry’s latest technology, Albany Lumber receives approximately 180 log trucks a day, and is capable of producing approximately 300 million board-feet of lumber each year,” said Michael Johnson, the plant manager.
